Oh and Tesla survived and prospered largely through government largesse.

He's referring to the subsidies for getting gas to the pump. When you grow up with something you just take it for granted. The aircraft carrier groups in the Persian Gulf were paid for by the taxpayers and they aren't cheap. They're there to ensure the free flow of oil. I'm not saying I'm...

I guess you're just never going to get what I'm saying. I understand things like recharging times although hyundai, not Ford though definitely not ford, have vehicles that can 80% recharge in 15 minutes. That's really not that bad. Your obsession with the best product for the person's need is...

I would think most of the issues with your laptop or phone or software related. EVs do not have to be more complicated in that regard they have been made that way because manufacturers think they will appeal to people who are obsessed with tech. Yes they will not be perfect, as I have said...

Well both are dependable but electric motors are more so . I work with them regularly and they have few moving parts, less maintenance etc. I have a couple of cars that are due for transmission, rear axle, coolant, and brake fluid changes coolant hoses , oil and filter , spark plugs etc. a lot...

So you make sure your cars are all nice and light? You're not even attempting to be serious, you're attempting to find problems in something you don't like while ignoring those in the tech you like. The vast majority of advances in ICEVs involving pollution are due to government MANDATES yet...

I didn't "cherry pick" the one vehicle they used that was the one vehicle they used so even you Midwesterners should understand that I had no other vehicles to choose from. Name one non hybrid - hybrid means part ICE part EV - that has doubled efficiency with the same capacity engine. What's...

Didn't read all that. Yes I think the moon is made of cheese. ..... "Doesn't make me wrong"....age of the dumb. You say if a new tech was the "savior of the earth" it would not require incentives or mandates but clearly you're smarter than that. What would be cheaper a car with a catalytic...

Lol. Yes so the guy who wrote yellowstone, Billy Bob Thornton and Fox News is going to give me my impartial scientific advice? Nothing is clean nothing involving humans is going to be clean. Only simpletons think in black and white and think one is clean and the other is dirty it's a question of...

I'm confused. China is the world leader in manufacturing evs. So you're suggesting if we want to make more we're helping china? China's emissions have gone up as their economy has grown generating electricity. We still pollute for more than they do per capita. I think the point is we are losing...

First of all what diesel equipment is used to run the solar? Second of all that diesel equipment can eventually be replaced with new technologies. Third of all something can be the savior of the earth, I caught the sarcasm there, and not be cheaper. Ruining the Earth is usually cheaper. You know...

I'm not arguing about renewables. I'm not saying they run on butterfly wings or anything like that. The difference is people with bigger brains than you and I have run the numbers on beginning to junkyard life of renewables and they aren't perfectly clean and I don't know what "massive amounts...

Not a huge fan of either side but you know the record setting stock market will be thanks to somebody else in a month or two... Heck I already got a few friends who are saying the economy is doing so much better now and the administration hasn't even changed... It's all about who they have warm...

So they kiss his butt maybe make a donation Mar a Lago and then this can go away?

I'll just buy an american-made Honda instead of that happens I guess

Sorry I just started a thread on this and then I saw this one

So I've heard that the Maverick is manufactured in mexico. So if the rumored 25% tariff comes into effect I have to imagine the price will go up rather significantly. So if I order my truck now I assume Ford gives me the current price for a 2025 and not what it costs when it's assembled? I...

The OP asked a question, instead of offering a solution you proceeded to tell them what he should or shouldn't be doing.

You seem at least as interested. I have a kid driving now and I drive all day so I hate distracted driving as well. I like a good argument that's all. Has it occurred to you that from your original post on this thread you come off as condescending?

I think I saw that guy. I'm not too far from Lancaster county in Pennsylvania, I'm about an hour and a half East, and I've been out there a couple times a year for the last few years. Looks familiar
